THAT "ECHOED" IDEA.

The belated Morning Church Echo has
actually shown itself capable of grasping
an idea when it is placed in black and
white. A recent issue of THE DEMOCRAT
contained an editorial in regard to the
future position of Salt Lake City as a
great railroad centre. The coming of the
Union Pacific, the Central Pacific and the
Midland roads was spoken of, and the
self-evident fact was referred to that the
coming OF one of the three great lines
would bring the others. The Morning
Church Echo succeeded in Catching on"
to the idea, and proceeded to elaborate it
with all the eager enthusiasm displayed
by achild in the manipulation of a new
and extraordinary plaything. But even
then our belated contemporary could not
handle the subject. The idea was
too large for it. 1t must apply
its usual back-action methods, and
make its usual botch. 1t falls foul
of the Union Pacific for not coming here
long ago, and berates Charles Francis
Adams for no other reason apparently
than a hazy notion it seems to entertain
that as he is President of the
Union Pacific road now, he must have
been president of it eighteen years
since. But there may be method in even
the madness of the Morning Church
Echo. Its Jumbled up assault on Mr..
Adams may be capable of justification.
Let us seel Mr.. Adams was not the
president OF the Union Pacific railroad
eighteen years ago, but if he had been,
he. as a man of business, would
(like the official who was really at the
head of the road at the time) have taken
no Salt Lake chances. At that time Salt
Lake was hot-bed of polygamous trea-
son. 1t was the headquarters of Church
retrogression and repression. Small en-
couragement was there for transcontin-
entail railroad to enter Salt Lake eighteen
years ago. American enterprise in those
days could not afford to be clogged
by Church policy. Consequently the
Union Pacific did not come to Salt Lake.
and consequently from this standpoint
Mr.. Adams is open to the assault of the
Morning Church Echo. Vow, however,
things are radically changed. Salt Lake
City has received an infusion of business
life and energy to which she was perfect |
stranger eighteen years ago. Gentle
blood and enterprise is here in force,
and is emulated by the Mormon business
men of the city. Salt Lake points out |
her own future, and now the Union Pa
cific will be glad to come, and with it
must come the Midland and Central Pa
cific

INTERSTATE COMMERCE BILL.

The people of Winnemucca, Nevada,
have held a mass meeting, at which =
resolution was passed, in which thev
urge that a mass State convention be
called to express the sentiments of the
people Of Nevada by a petition to the
Commission to restore section four of the
Interstate law. The DEMOCRAT. in its
first notice of the bill, predicted that the
weakness of the measure would be de-
veloped in the almost absolute power it
conferred upon the Commission. Every
section of the law might as
well have been stricken out ex-
cept the one empowering the
President to appoint the Commission,
leaving it entirely to that body to legis-
late at their discretion, as its functions
are clearly legislative, having full power
to ignore any portion OF the law, and to
establish such rules as it pleases. The
bill, instead of ga step in the right di-
rection," so far has proven long back
ward stride, instead of one in advance

things, hearkened to the new voice which
spoke so loud and promised so much.
And the Republican Political Power grew
in authority and counted many ad-
herents among the people. But the
Republican Political Power was but
another evil influence. In other portions
OF the great Nation to which Utah be-
longed, the Republican political power
was well known. 1t was spoiler of the
people of the Nation, even as the Nor
mon Church Power was a spoiler of the
people of Utah. And the people of Utah
soon came to know that when the Re-
publican Political Power said, ~ am the
Light" it also said "Come thou and
worship me, for only thus can you be
saved" And for long time the people
of Utah who wished for better things
were as the foolish moths, and the Light
of the Republican Political Power
scorched their wings, and their expert
ence was as that of the people of the
other portions Of the great Nation to
which Utah belonged. And the two
evil influences of Utah, even the Nor
mon Church Power, and the Repub-
lican Political Power throve side
by side in Utah, and multi
piled the deeds of wickedness, and
divided dominion, and the people were
plundered and oppressed, and were be-
nighted. But there came day of de-
liverance and awakening. The true light
shone, and the eyes of the people OF
Utah were unsealed. Throughout the
length and breadth OF the great Nation
to which Utah belonged, the dominion Of
the Republican Political Power was
overthrown. The arm of Democracy,
the peoples friend, was again clothed
with righteous power, and the strength
of the oppressor was broken as reed.
Forth from his long Imprisonment
came the Genius OF American
Progress and the North and the South,
the East and the West, gave back the
echoes Of his footsteps. Here was the
true deliverer of Utah. The Genius Of
Progress needed no Standardization.
No blatant cry of 81 am the Light was
a necessary herald of his coming. The
people of Utah recognized him at a
glance, and at once pledged him that
fealty naturally given to progress by
every American. The allied evil infu-
ences that had so long dominated Utah
were swept away. The Mormon Church
Power grovelled in the dust of the soil it
had so long oppressed. The usurping
Republican Political Power was over
thrown, and became demoralized frag-
ment of Republicanism, even such as
wander to this day over the face of the
great Nation to which Utah belongs.
Utah arose in in her native majesty and
might, her strength no longer curbed,
her beauty no longer hidden, and guided
by the Genius of American Progress, and
defended by the power of National Dem
ocracy, passed onward to her glorious
destiny

BEING A UTAH MEDITATION.

BEING UTAH MEDITATION.
There was once a region called Utah,
which was part of a great Nation. But
evil influences were long at work in
Utah, and was as bound with chains.
Now Utah was by Nature both fair and
strong, yet her beauty and her strength
availed her not, for the one was hidden,
and the other was PROSTATE. In the be-
ginning Utah was possessed by the
evil influence known as the
Mormon Church Power. For many
years this evil Power ground Utah to the
dust, and plundered the people of their
inheritance, and the land Of its first
fruits. 1t oppressed the body, and
placed gives upon the mind. 1t forged
The letters of superstition, as we'll as the
chains OF despotism, and the people
were mental thralls and physical serfs,
and they were free in nothing, owning a
master in all things. And the Church
rover ruled according to its ma
ture. The knife of fanaticism
was sharpened, and the mandate
OF immortality went forth. And the peo-
pie even did the bidding of their master.
And the hands of men were red with
murder, and the hearts of the people
turned unto lust. And now there ap-
peared IN Utah the Republican Political
o"er' And the Republican Political

many words the regenerator of the land.

Church Power, and longed for better

next Tuesday. This base ball meeting
promises to be an interesting one. Neither

they can.
